Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) is thinking about joining the standup comedy scene, so why not bring back one of the podcast’s favorite guests, “Comic” Dave Smith, to give him some advice, right? Michael and Dave talk about Dave’s love and hatred of the stand-up comedy lifestyle, how inauthenticity can quickly destroy your career as a comedian, and why the concept of “paying your dues” doesn’t always apply in today’s standup comedy world.    x.com/ComicDaveSmith comicdavesmith.com   Order THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/ Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJ Order THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCu Order DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1   https://twitter.com/michaelmalice https://instagram.com/michaelmalice https://malice.locals.com https://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficial   Intro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/   The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!
